Hobo

Blind Eye Lily they call her, one of the deadliest and most ruthless outlaws on this side of the Mississippi.

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/jHkUZY9.png[/imgzoom]
In her late 20s, average height, slim build, olive complexion, badly scarred left eye, always wears a white flower in her auburn hair.
Every bounty hunter in the state is after her for one reason or another...

Mandle

Absolutely lovely entry right there!!! This has really pushed the bar up pretty high on this contest...

Cassiebsg

Well then you better be careful.
This old lady is the leader of one of the worst gang of thieves that exists in the old wild west.

PS:Ohh...  I almost forgot to warn you, be careful what you say to this lady or your better disappear of the world.

This strange creature came out of an intense beam of light projected from the sky to the ground.


He stole from a secret area next to Groom Lake, a mysterious artifact that was adored by Navajo tribe.
The device, according to the natives belonged to Tsohanoai and has the power to darken the day
and protect the user from the cry of the sun.
The artifact needs to be returned intact ... about the creature ... well ...

just leave something
to the autopsy please.

April, the challenges created by you are already a success! It is a lot of creativity, talent and fun! That's what makes them irresistible and challenging! Wanted to have discovered them sooner ... but it's never too late for a fly  to dip in the honey! :-D

If you think that already...Man, you should play the dude's games! (I'm not sure what your first language is but his game "Donald Dowell And The Ghost Of Barker Manor" is available in several languages including Italian, Croatian, and Ancient Egyptian I believe...And is also an incredibly GREAT game!)

aikex222

this will be a difficult competition with such amazing rivals :-D

Thanks Mandle!

I was already dating the game for some time.  :-D
The graphic is very attractive and the figure of a bearded old man reading a red book
somehow remember me the figure of Marxs and this arouses also my curiosity...

I downloaded it ... if the game dont have the translation to Portuguese yet, will have (if i have the permission)!
As an appetizer i downloaded 2nd PLACE IS FOR LOSER too.The game concept is very educational,
and the text that explains this game deserved the prize "BEST ABOUT GAME"! ;-D

Cassiebsg

Oh well, I cast my towel in the ring and give up on making some decent hair, my skills are just not there, yet.
So here, I present:



Wanted: Kelly Scarf Face
Crimes: Everything that isn't lawful...

Beware of Fred, desperado extraordinaire.

Actually, he's blind as a bat and he wouldn't harm a fly.
Also, there's a typo on the poster, the reward is only $25 but, hey, that's what you get when you flirt with the sheriff's fiancée.

It's that guy from the smileys!

For those who are "new" to the community, "this guy", is Larry Vales! The main character of one of the first AGS games ever. And also a colorful character, if I may be so bold as to compare him to, let's say, an OSD ancestor ;)

I really think this is one of the most hard comp! I'm lucky I'm not entering (laugh)

P.S. @Jwalt: Maybe in the N.15 you meant the italian name for that fat white bearded criminal. If yes his name is "Babbo Natale" not "befana" (laugh). befana is that witch celebrated in January the 6th ;-D

It's probably just timezones plus available online time that is the cause of delay. Aprilskies will announce the beginning of voting officially and it will say so in the thread title when the voting is open.

Unless of course he's off on another three day orgy with twelve strippers... He is Italian you know ;)

AprilSkies

AHAHAHAHA Mandle!!!!

Ok guys, gimme some time to prepare the voting time...
I'm creating an exciting stuff..... to SHOW OFF your wonderful creations!!!

So this afternoon I'll prolly officially open the voting time.

You can vote the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd best one!

Voting:

#1: The Secretary (To be able to build perfect pixel art out of somebody else's outline, in perspective, and with textures understandable in the sepia palette provided...I just don't know what else to say except that this artist has a rare gift!)

#2: Swollen Eye (I originally was going to use the "neck and shoulders" area of the shape for a continuation of the character instead of what it was "meant for" but eventually couldn't figure out how to. This artist pulled it off!)

#3: Strange Creature: Duck (Very simple and yet charming with the raised eyebrow and sunglasses: Even pulling off drawing a duck with eyebrows and able to wear sunglasses despite lack of ears is a feat unto itself!)

And also: No matter who wins...THAT FREAKING WALL OF WANTED POSTERS IS AAAAWWWSOOOOMMMME!!!

Tabata

1st    The Secretary by Yakatakatulla
2nd   Blind Eye Lilly by Hobo
3rd    strange creature by I<3Pindorama!

Overall great ideas, well implemented and cool end-presentation!   (nod)

cat

Wow, that's a hard choice! What a pity that we have to decide on only three criminals

1st Santa Claus by jwalt
2nd Blind Eye Lilly by Hobo
3rd The Secretary by Yakatakatulla

aikex222

Amazing what you did there aprilskies.
Now the votes, so many great entries that is going to be tough to choose only 3 :-\


GreenBeams

Ah, the wall! That's excellent! It reminds me of playing the Wild Bunch on the Spectrum 48k years ago... erm... although the game might not have had pictures...hmm.

1st - Blind Eye Lilly by Hobo - The backstory on this woman is just so evocative. She's dark skinned in the wild west and on the run. $250,000 sounds about right xD
2nd - NYARLATHOTEP by Mandle - because it's just mad and it made me smile and then laugh and then think of the early 90's, so there!
3rd - Swollen Eye Duck by Tabata - because i really lke the lateral thinking on the design but attention to the character's obvious criminal leanings. Makes me think of the Daffy Duck episode where he's in the west xD


I<3Pindorama!

I just loved this style Santa Claus Lumberjack!
With a trait that brings me to the marginal comics of the decade of 60/70 and the same time the arcades of 80's too. A intense pixel and very well executed.

Sensei pieface ... a mixture of Beavis with Lone Wolf ... and ... and ... and ... the Ugly Duckling !!! Man, this art is furious! And every time I see it ... millions and millions of things come into my head ... Yes, this art numbs me! And i like!
BANZAI MIKE JUDGE!
BANZAI TAIYO MATSUMOTO!
BANZAI HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN!
BANZAI 424 MONKEY!

Lily... Hi Lily... hi lo... the flower.. the eye... the lips...
An image that can produce seduction and fear ...
Very beautiful ... I would say even more ... a true living art!
The character seems to have human soul ... as if she had really existed.
In fact she even made me remember an old girlfirend.
The coolest thing is that this art was in my head, even after leaving the internet!

Well... I could write about each of the drawings! Everyone really made with passion ... each of them deserves to be arrested, dragged on the burning sand of the desert and finally hanged!

Congratulations to all participants!
Inspired by what was done by April and Aikex
I also leave a gift too...

Adios muchachos e niñas!
Mutchas Gracias!

Mandle, honestly I would very much appreciate
seeing a his approach within its spectacular
lovercratian vision!

Hobo

Wow! This is one crazy voting session... and I love it!

1st The Secretary by Yakatakatulla - Exceptional workmanship, but what truly makes it great, is the unique and creative way you used the shape.
2nd Fred by Creamy - Such a simple and clean look, yet so charming and effective.
3rd The old lady by aikex222 - A real stylish looking bow tie you got there and it also seems that I have acquired a strange taste for scarred left eyes.

And props to all other entries as well! Good work everyone!

Alan v.Drake

1) The Secretary (Yakatakatulla)
2) NYALARTHOTEP (Mandle)
3) Blind Eye Lily (HOBO)

- Alan

Ibispi

1. Kelly Scarf Face by Cassiebsg - the scariest of all the criminals, really.
2. NYALARTHOTEP by Mandle - also quite scary...
3. "Swollen Eye" by Tabata - obviously violent creature, and scary.

But thanks muchly most to AprilSkies for this comp, it was so much fun!

Mandle

Big congratz to all the winners!!! Also thank you to April Skies for hosting a great round of Colouring Ball which I feel really revitalized the event with a theme that seems to have tapped into some universal love of wanted posters (who would have known right?). Also thanks to everyone else who made this thread awesome fun with great backstories, hilarious voting styles, etc.

This is the most fun I've ever had in an AGS contest and I'm very proud to wear my sheriff's hat!
